Scott Allen, the co-author of The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online, took 30 minutes to speak with us about blogging, online marketing and where the industry is at as a whole. The information in this interview was so good we couldn't bring ourselves to cut it down into a 5 minute segment, so we have decided to release it as a full 25 minute uncut interview. A 20-year veteran technology entrepreneur, executive and consultant, Scott Allen is the Entrepreneurs Guide for About.com, one of the top ten websites in the world with over 37 million readers, and a subsidiary of the New York Times. He offers current and future entrepreneurs guidance and resources to help them start and develop their new businesses.
